HomeBase

Purpose: Minimalist "GUI for your home"

HomeBase began as a personal project by Tom Evens to bring clarity and organization to his daily life. It’s a minimalist, self-hosted dashboard that connects to various APIs—pulling in live data like weather, fitness stats, and more—to provide an at-a-glance view of the world around you. With built-in task management and a focus on elegant, distraction-free design, Homebase acts as a “GUI for your own home.” It’s a living system with more features on the way, built to simplify your digital environment and keep you grounded in what matters most. Clean, connected, and customizable—that’s the HomeBase ethos.

Culex Collective

Purpose: Independent Media Hosting

The Culex Collective is an independent, self-hosted media initiative exploring the evolving intersections of television, video games, and modern storytelling. Built by creators and critics outside the corporate pipeline, we dig deep into the art, history, and cultural impact of these mediums—unfiltered and unbound. From longform essays to video breakdowns and podcast roundtables, The Culex Collective is a space for thoughtful analysis, impassioned discussion, and authentic fandom. We champion independent voices and underground perspectives in an era of oversaturation and algorithm-driven content. If you love narrative media and critical culture, you’ll feel right at home with us.

Propaniac CRM

Purpose: Custom, Low Cost, Modular CRM

Propaniac CRM is Tom Evens’ personal rebellion against the bloated, over-engineered CRM monstrosities he’s been forced to wrangle in the corporate wilds. Born of frustration and forged in righteous fury (and maybe a little too much coffee), Propaniac is lightweight, modular, and secure—just good ol’ clean-burning software that gets the job done. Propaniac can be deployed quickly and adapted effortlessly, with a focus on what actually matters: people, not processes. It’s CRM that respects your time, your users, and your bandwidth—kind of like if Dale Gribble learned Python and finally decided to do something useful. Built for speed, ease of use, and real-world adaptability, Propaniac cuts the bloat and brings the heat. "Taste the meat, not the Salesforce."
